The effectiveness of various degrees and circumstances of program completion of young male offenders in a residential treatment center
(John Wiley & Sons, 1990-07)Boys admitted to a treatment facility do not always complete their treatment. This study analyzes the follow-up socialized coping of boys preponderantly classified as conduct disordered who were admitted to a residential ... -
Effects of a visuo-motor training task on visual functioning in older adults
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)The normal aging process is associated with variable degrees of decline in perceptual, cognitive, and motor control abilities that are important for the successful execution of everyday tasks, such as driving and walking. ... -
Effects of age and auditory and visual dual tasks on closed-road driving performance
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005-08)This study investigated how driving performance of young and old participants is affected by visual and auditory secondary tasks on a closed driving course. -
The effects of aging and cognitive decrements on simulated driving performance
(2005-12)While most seniors are capable, conscientious drivers, some have experienced age-related declines in the skills that support safe driving, thus pose a hazard to themselves and to other road users. There seems to be agreement ... -
Effects of balance-specific training on postural stability in older adults aged 79-90 years
(2001-05)Several studies have indicated that impaired postural stability is associated with an increased risk of falling in older adults. Traditional exercise programs consisting of stretching and full body movements have typically ... -
The effects of gender, flow and video game experience on combat identification training
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)The present study examined the effects of gender, video game experience (VGE), and flow state on multiple indices of combat identification (CID) performance. Individuals were trained on six combat vehicles in a simulation, ... -
Effects of mobile computer terminal configuration and level of driving control on police officers’ performance and workload
(SAGE, 2020-03-09)Objective: The objective of this study was to assess police officers’ performance and workload in using two mobile computer terminal (MCT) configurations under operational and tactical driving conditions. Background: Crash ... -
The effects of multiple column online text on reading speed, reading comprehension, and satisfaction
(2005-05)This study examined the effects of the number of columns and type of justification on reading speed, reading comprehension, and satisfaction for online text. Sixty-six participants read a single narrative passage of ... -
The effects of process-focused versus experience-focused narratives in a breast cancer treatment decision task
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2013-11)Objective: To examine the effect of patient narratives that discuss decision processes versus patient experiences on decisions about treatments for early stage breast cancer. Methods: We recruited 300 women with no ... -
Effects of same-modality interference on immediate serial recall of auditory and visual information
(Routledge, 1992-07)Two studies investigated the effects of same-modality interference on the immediate serial recall of auditorily and visually presented stimuli. Typically, research in which this task is used has been conducted in quiet ... -
The effects of selection defaults on the ordering practices of clinicians using an Electronic Medical Record
(Wichita State University, 2011-07)The installation and use of computerized systems in health care, particularly Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), has rapidly expanded over the past decade. Overall, their implementation has led to positive outcomes. However, ... -
Effects of simulated cataracts on speech intelligibility
(Elsevier, 2012-06-28)Limited research is available on how well visual cues integrate with auditory cues to improve speech intelligibility in persons with visual impairments, such as cataracts. We investigated whether simulated cataracts ... -
Effects of simulated cataracts on speechreading
(Wichita State University, 2011-07)Watching a speaker‘s face can improve a listener‘s speech understanding, especially at poorer signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Little is known, however, about the effects of visual impairments on speechreading. In a series ... -
The effects of texting and driving on hazard perception and the adoption of driver response strategies
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2012-04-18)Hazard perception has received little attention compared to measures of vehicle control in studies exploring the effects of texting on driving performance, despite being a more direct measure of crash risk. Twenty participants ... -
Effects of the Oregon model of Parent Management Training (PMTO) on marital adjustment in new stepfamilies: a randomized trial
(American Psychological Association, 2010-08)Effects of intervention with the Oregon model of Parent Management Training (PMTO) on marital relationship processes and marital satisfaction in recently married biological mother and stepfather couples were examined. ... -
The effects of video game experience and active stereoscopy on performance in combat identification tasks
(SAGE Publications, 2014-11-13)Objective. We investigated the effects of active stereoscopic simulation-based training and individual differences in video game experience on multiple indices of combat identification (CID) performance. Background. ... -
The effects of visual magnification and physical movement scale on the manipulation of a tool with indirect vision
(American Psychological Association, 2010-03)Modern tools often separate the visual and physical aspects of operation, requiring users to manipulate an instrument while viewing the results indirectly on a display. This can pose usability challenges particularly in ... -
Effects of visual-spatial and verbal working memory load on visual attention and driving performance
(ARVO, 2010-05)Recent studies show that visual search is less efficient when loads are placed on working memory (WM) by having subjects manipulate information (i.e. count backwards from a target digit) but not when subjects simply maintain ... -
Effects on movement performance as a function of visual-motor scale and velocity: an investigation of the speed-accuracy tradeoff
(2007-05)A number of studies have developed various models to account for the speed/accuracy tradeoff in aimed movements. Reductions in performance are believed to be associated with the modifications of the visual and motor scale, ...
